Code of Practice
Our code of practice explains the standards required to deliver Bikeability. It sets guidelines for the conduct and integrity of you and your instructors.
The code of practice is an important tool to ensure quality. It should include all staff associated with you. We will use the code of conduct in the event of a serious incident and when considering the deregistration of instructors.
It is a requirement for training providers to have a code of practice. You must ensure it covers all the necessary areas listed in the model code of practice.

Code of Practice for Bikeability Instructors
This guidance will support those training providers who do not have a code of practice in place for their instructors and those who wish to review or refresh their code of practice. The Bikeability Trust recognises many training providers already have an instructor code of practice in place.
